Introduction


1.0 IntroductionCongratulations on purchasing a Liebert Foundation. The highly versatile Foundation can provide an organized, secure, controlled environment in a single system for your sensitive electronic equipment.

The Foundation is available in a variety of configurations to suit your electronic equipment’s environmental needs. Whether you need a rack to organize your electronic equipment, locking doors for security, a UPS for power protection, and/or an ECM air conditioner to keep your equipment at a constant temperature, the Foundation will provide the level of protection you require.

The Foundation can be upgraded to fit your changing needs as your operations expand and you add more sensitive electronic equipment.

1.1 About this ManualThe Foundation’s flexibility means that a variety of configurations exist for the unit. The various sections cover:

• Frame—The basic setup; relevant to all Foundation configurations.

• Enclosure—The types of doors and side panels, as well as attendant hardware, available as upgrades to accommodate various options.

• Power—The wide selection of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) models and MP Advanced Power Strips available for the Foundation.

• Environmental—Computer-grade environmental conditioning units that may be employed: Environmental Control Module (ECM), Backup Cooling Module (BCM) and FAN Fan Cooling.

• Monitoring—Hardware to collect data about conditions within the Foundation and about its components.

Any or all of the components may be included in your Foundation, depending on the unit’s configuration. If, for example, your Foundation is equipped with an ECM, but no UPS or monitoring equipment, you might want to read the sections on Frames, Enclosures and Environmental, skipping the sections titled Power and Monitoring.

Major Components


2.0 Major ComponentsYou may have any or all of the components discussed in this section, depending on your Foundation configuration.

2.1 FrameThe base of all Foundation products is the frame. It comes in four standard heights: 24, 44, 78 and 84 inches (610, 1118, 1981 and 2134mm). All 24-inch high units are wall-mountable and are furnished with doors, side panels and 19" (483mm) square-hole mounting rails. The 44-, 78-, and 84-inch frames can accommodate shelf- or rack-mounted equipment on either 19- or 23-inch (483 or 584mm) adjustable, square or threaded rails. See Foundation model numbers on page 89 and the subsequent illustrations for measurements of different models. All units (with the exception of the wall-mount units) have leveling feet and grounding lug. Casters are optional. All HK / RK non-sealed frames can be enhanced and deepened with the Foundation EX Expansion System.

The frame consists of heavy-duty, riveted 12-gauge steel construction, painted black. The front and rear vertical frame members accommodate internal mounting rail options and provide space to route and manage customer cabling.

Various cutouts in the top, bottom and rear plates permit customer cable entry; cover plates are provided as sealing and cooling options require.

Frames are selected as either non-sealed, (open frame or enclosure), or as sealed (basis for NEMA12 enclosure). All options that are added to the mounting frame conform to either the sealed or non-sealed requirements as the sealing selection dictates.

2.2 EnclosureThe mounting frame can be upgraded to an enclosure system or to a sealed mini computer room, with the addition of factory-installed panel and door configurations, gaskets and other options.

2.3 DoorsAll doors are framed from sheet metal. A multi-point latch with key lock is provided for security. All doors are removable and allow for reversible (left/right) hinging. The following doors are available:

• Plexiglas™ front door

• Sheet metal front and rear door

• Insulation provided on ECM applications

• Perforated front and rear door

• Rear doors are available in either full height or with cable entrance panels and as single- or dual-door designs.

Major Components


2.4 Side PanelsSide panels are fashioned from sheet metal. Special fasteners inside and outside the unit permit removal of all panels for maintenance while preserving internal security during normal operation.

Side panels are available in either solid or vented designs. An insulation option is required for Foundation systems that use ECM cooling. This provides improved thermal and sound insulation.

2.5 Foundation EX Expansion SystemThe Liebert Foundation EX Expansion System and optional accessories add depth to your Foundation to accommodate larger equipment and offer almost unlimited latitude in cable management. Foundation EX Expansion Systems can be factory-installed or field-installed, allowing you to increase the depth of non-sealed Foundation cabinets.

2.6 Power

2.6.1 Uninterruptible Power SupplyThe Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can provide your electronic equipment with:

• Surge protection and suppression

• Regulated voltage and frequency

• Battery backup

A UPS protects your sensitive electronic equipment when utility power fails. It gives you time to perform a controlled shutdown of your operating system, preventing damage to the hardware, as well as allowing you to save valuable data. Liebert UPSs also condition utility power, eliminating power spikes that could damage your instruments.

Liebert’s PowerSure PSI and UPStation GXT 2U, up to 6000 VA, are available for the Foundation.

Refer to the user manual for your UPS for further details.

2.6.2 MP Advanced Power StripsPower distribution to equipment installed in your Foundation may be eased and simplified with installation of optional Liebert MP Advanced Power Strips. For details on available models, see Table 15-6 - MP Advanced Power Strip specifications or refer to the MP Advanced Power Strip user manual, SL-28015. For information about installing and operating the power strips, see sections 9 through 12.

2.7 Environmental

2.7.1 Fan Cooling System and OptionsFan Cooling Modules are available to circulate air through your Foundation, providing enhanced primary cooling for enclosure systems.

2.7.2 Environmental Control ModuleThe Environmental Control Module (ECM) conditions and circulates the air inside the Foundation to protect your electronic equipment from heat the equipment generates. Outside (ambient) air is used to remove heat from the enclosure through the air-cooled condenser. The ECM is capacity/load-matched to Liebert’s UPS models, along with heat transmitted into the enclosure from outside.

The ECM is available as either internal rack-mount or external top-mount. The ECM is not compatible with the 24" (610mm) wall-mount Foundation enclosures.

2.7.3 ECM Heat RejectionFor applications in confined spaces (equipment rooms or closets), an optional, ceiling-mounted heat rejection fan or direct-connect heat rejection duct options are available to ventilate the space outside the Foundation.

Refer to separate installation instructions provided with these options.

2.7.4 Back-Up Cooling Module (BCM)For backup cooling, an optional Backup Cooling Module can be added to the Foundation. When the self-contained BCM senses an internal temperature 100°F (38°C), the Backup Cooling Module fans will circulate filtered ambient air through the enclosure. The BCM is not compatible with the 24" (610mm) wall-mount or 44" (1118mm) tall Foundation enclosures.

A BCM Energy Saver (ES) Control is an add-on device that reduces energy costs by allowing the BCM to operate as the primary enclosure cooler. The BCM ES Control along with the high temperature alarm monitors air conditions inside and outside the enclosure and, when appropriate, cycles off the ECM and activates the BCM, reducing energy consumption.

3.5 Mini Computer Room Site PreparationWhen deciding where to place your Foundation Mini Computer Room, keep in mind these factors:

• adequate ventilation is necessary for proper equipment operation and protection

• service clearance must be provided

• the Foundation must be on a level surface

The environment outside the cabinet must be within the product- design operating envelope for temperature and humidity in order to prevent cabinet condensation. See Figure 15-2

Make sure the location has adequate ventilation to dissipate the heat rejected from the inside of the enclosure. Alcoves or closets should have louvered doors and/or open ceilings that promote air exchange. For information on Liebert’s optional heat rejection packages, see 7.1.4 - Active Heat Rejection Options.

Note the dimensions of your Foundation model to determine the space required. Units with a rack-mount ECM require at least 12 inches (305mm) of clearance at the top, in front and at the rear. Do not block the airflow at the front or rear of the unit.

All units with an ECM require at least 36 inches (914mm) of service clearance in front of the unit for access to the ECM.

Top-mount ECMs require an additional 12" (305mm) of free space on the sides of the unit.

Refer to Figure 3-1 for the recommended equipment arrangement.

General Cable Management Options


5.0 General Cable Management Options

5.1 Cable ManagementOnce your equipment has been installed, you are ready to connect cables for power and communication. Before making any connections, check the equipment to ensure that all power switches are in the OFF position.

Numerous cable entrances and management provisions are built into the various Foundation configurations to ease cable installation.

In addition to the Foundation EX Expansion System (see 4.0 - Foundation EX—Expansion System), optional cable rings, and Velcro straps are available for routing cables. These help not only to keep your cables organized but also separate power and communications cables, reducing electromagnetic interference.

Velcro straps are field-attached to the slots provided on the internal mounting rails and support vertical cable management.

Figure 5-1 Cable rings, Velcro straps on Foundation rails

5.2 Cable Management ConsiderationsWhen designing the equipment layout in the Foundation, consider how cables must be run for each configuration and how cable runs affect cooling, access and operational factors, such as separating power and communication cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Good cable management contributes to:

• Effective air flow for cooling

• Easier cable identification

• Improved access

• Reduced electromagnetic interference

• Proper bend radii, particularly for fiber optic cables

• Adequate support for large cables and heavy cable bundles

Several Foundation EX options are designed to facilitate structured cable management. These are described in 5.5 - EX Cable Management Channels—Optional.

5.3 Cable Access—Sealed Units

5.3.1 Top Cover and Back of Sealed Units

The back of the sealed unit has a sealed entrance cable raceway (a slot with foam gaskets) for cable access. Units with rack-mount ECM provide one raceway at the top of the unit, otherwise raceways are provided top and bottom. To use it, loosen the top half of the two-piece cover, pull your cables through the opening and replace the cover, making sure the gasket seals around the cables.

Optional sealed entrance cable bundles (cone-shaped seals and clamps) permit use of the round openings on the top and/or the bottom of the sealed Foundation for cable entry.

To bring cable through these holes:

1. Replace the plug with a sealed entrance cable bundle.

2. Pull the cable through the bundle.

3. The cable bundle can be trimmed to accommodate various quantities of cables.

4. Use the clamp to secure the bundle around the cables.

5.3.2 Base of Sealed UnitsSealed Foundations can be cabled from underneath through round 2.25" (57mm) access holes lining both sides of the base. To install cable through these holes in a sealed Foundation, obtain sealed entrance cable bundles, similar to the one used for cabling through the top, from your Liebert representative.

NOTEWhen installing cables, leave enough slack for the unit to be rolled forward or sideways for access to components.

Do not block or restrict cooling system (FAN, ECM or BCM - if provided) discharge or return airflow.

Also, do not defeat the ground/earth connections between the utility/mains outlet and the Foundation.

Sealed EntranceCable Bundle



5.4 Cable Access—Non-Sealed Units

5.4.1 Top Cover and Back of Non-Sealed UnitsNon-sealed Foundation models have cable openings at the rear of the top cover and above the rear door (see illustration at right), unless the full height rear door option has been selected. Use either of the two rectangular holes for mounting a fan or fans and the other for cabling the unit. Two round 4" (102mm) holes on the top of the Foundation and four round 1" (25mm) holes on either side of the rectangular slot in the rear of the Foundation allow cable entry.

The bottom rear of the Foundation has a rectangular slot and four round holes—two on either side—that can be used for cable entry.

5.4.2 Base of Non-Sealed UnitsNon-sealed Foundation units can be cabled from underneath through round 2" (51mm) access holes lining both sides of the base. On units without an ECM, Backup Cooling Module or FAN, rectangular cable-access holes in the front and back of the base also are available for cabling.

5.5 EX Cable Management Channels—OptionalThe optional Foundation EX Cable Management Channel (EX-CMC) combines with other optional items to permit the user to route cables in an organized, efficient manner.

EX-CMCs are available in 1U, 2U and 3U sizes and are adjustable for side-to-side 19" or 23" rack orientation, or front-to-rear zero-U orientation. See Figure 5-2. Adjustability is gained by using different bolt holes to assemble the EX Expansion Channel.

As a factory-installed item, EX Cable Management Channels are mounted at the top and bottom of the EX Expansion Channels of non-sealed Foundation units. Installation at the top and bottom of the EX Expansion Channel permits cables to be organized into the Foundation from the top and from the bottom. See Figure 5-2.

5.5.1 Field-Mounting Options for EX Cable Management ChannelsField-mounting options for the EX Cable Management Channel include:

• front-to-back between corner posts (zero-U configuration)

Startup


6.0 StartupBefore plugging in your electronic equipment, make sure that all power switches are in the OFF position.

Be certain there are no obstructions, wire bundles, manuals, trash, etc., in front of or on either side of the ECM, if your unit is so equipped. Make sure all doors are shut and sealed properly. Plug the Environmental Control Module (ECM) into a dedicated utility circuit.

• ECM's evaporator fan will begin to circulate air inside the enclosure as soon as power is supplied and will operate continuously.

• The compressor in the ECM is controlled by a thermostat located in the rear left corner of the ECM. This thermostat is factory-set and does not require adjustment. If the setting is changed, contact Liebert Technical Support for assistance.

• The compressor in the Environmental Control Module will shut down if the ECM return air temperature drops below approximately 75°F (18°C). The evaporator fan will continue to circulate internal cabinet air throughout the sealed enclosure. The compressor will resume operating when the FoundationFoundation ECM return air rises above approximately 75°F (18°C).

• Refer to the UPS manual for preparation for startup, details of UPS operation and the meaning of LED indicators. After you have complied with the manual’s instructions, turn on the UPS. Check the UPS’ indicators. If the UPS’s status is normal, proceed with the next step.

• Turn on your computer and network equipment.

NOTEThe UPS’s batteries may require recharging before it can fully supply your equipment’s power needs for the rated time if utility power fails.

To charge the UPS batteries before using the unit, you can apply power to the UPS module while you are installing your equipment or while making adjustments.

NOTETo avoid excessive condensation, turn off the ECM whenever the cabinet may be open for more than 10 minutes, such as when removing doors and/or side panels while installing equipment. Also ensure that any cable-entry points are sealed from external conditions vial the optional sealed-entrance cable bundles or raceways.


Operation


7.0 Operation

7.1 Environmental

7.1.1 ECM (Environmental Control Module)The ECM is applicable to any sealed Liebert Foundation enclosure (designated by model numbers HD or RD). The Environmental Control Module (ECM) is sized to match the load capacity of the UPS system and the ambient heat transmitted into the Foundation. The module is located at the bottom of the enclosure or field-installed on top of the Foundation.

Outside (ambient) air is used to remove heat from the enclosure through the air-cooled condenser. The outside air is drawn through the louver at the front of the ECM unit and discharged at the rear of the ECM. The ECM isolates outside air from the unit's internal cooling circuit.

The compressor in the Environmental Control Module will shut down if the ECM return air temperature goes below 75°F (18°C), but the internal cabinet air will be continuously circulated by the evaporator fan. The compressor will resume operating when the Foundation ECM return air is above 75°F (18°C).

The ECM is equipped with a factory-set hot gas bypass valve so that the compressor will operate nearly continuously for maximum compressor life. This valve modulates automatically to match compressor capacity to the load. Consult Liebert Technical Support if factory adjustment is desired.

The ECM requires no external plumbing connections because excess condensate is evaporated into the unit's heat-rejection air stream. A condensate drain tube (3/8” OD copper) is provided with the ECM. This drain connection will route excess condensate out of the unit in the event of an extreme condition, such as if a door is left open for an extended period while the ECM is operating, or in extremely humid environments.

7.1.2 Backup Cooling Module (BCM)If your Foundation MCR is equipped with the Backup Cooling Module (BCM) option, the BCM will automatically start if the high temperature alarm module detects an internal cabinet temperature of 100°F (38°C). The BCM will draw filtered exterior air into the Foundation MCR cabinet for use as supplemental cooling and exhaust cabinet heat through the rear door. An audible alarm will sound until the cabinet temperature decreases below 100°F (38°C) or is silenced by depressing the alarm silence switch on the high temperature alarm module. Backup cooling requires the high temperature alarm module option. The High Temperature Alarm Module also includes a dry contact for optional remote monitoring of a high temperature condition. A separate control cable connects the BCM to the high temperature alarm module. The BCM is normally powered through a 6-foot (1.8m) cord with NEMA 5-15 plug connected to the factory-installed UPS, but could also be powered from a source outside the cabinet.

NOTETo avoid excessive condensation, turn off the ECM whenever the cabinet may be open for more than 10 minutes, such as when removing doors and/or side panels while installing equipment. Also ensure that any cable-entry points are sealed from external conditions vial the optional sealed-entrance cable bundles or raceways.

Operation


7.1.3 BCM Energy SaverThe Backup Cooling Energy Saver (ES) is a factory-installed option that is useful in applications involving low exterior cabinet ambient temperatures and humidity. An enthalpy controller is used to detect the exterior cabinet ambient conditions. If the exterior ambient conditions are suitable, the energy saver operation will disable the ECM and enable the backup cooling system to draw filtered exterior air into the Foundation MCR cabinet for use as cooling. The high temperature alarm module monitors the interior cabinet temperature and if the interior temperature is less than 90°F (32°C) and the exterior conditions suitable, turns on the Backup Cooling ES and disables the ECM. If the cabinet temperature increases above 90°F (32°C), the Backup Cooling ES is disabled for one hour and the ECM is enabled to supply cabinet cooling. The one-hour time-out prevents cycling of the ES option.

7.1.4 Active Heat Rejection OptionsYour Foundation requires external airspace to allow for dissipation of the heat rejected from the inside of the enclosure. The Heat Rejection Fan (HRF) is offered as a field-installed option to assist in the removal of rejected ECM heat from tight spaces or alcoves without adequate ventilation. The package includes a combination blower with inlet air louver plate. The package provides provisions for ceiling grid installation and connection of customer-supplied 8" (203mm) diameter exhaust duct (if required). The HRF is hard-wired in the field and requires a 120VAC, 60Hz, 15A power source or a 230VAC 50Hz, 10A power source.

The ECM heat rejection duct connects directly to the enclosure and is available as an alternative to the Heat Rejection Fan. The package includes a flexible, round duct that is 12 ft. long (365.76cm) and 8 in. (20.32cm) in diameter. The duct is field-attached to the Foundation MCR and routed as required. An in-line booster fan, powered by customer connection, is also included to overcome duct static pressure. This option is available for 50Hz and 60Hz applications.

7.1.5 FAN CoolingFAN cooling is used in lieu of the ECM / BCM cooling options. FAN cooling can be provided by a single fan or by dual fans; a total of five fans can be installed in the unit. Outside air is drawn through the openings at the bottom of the front and back of the unit and is discharged at the top of the unit. All 60Hz FAN units are supplied with NEMA 5-15 plugs on 15-foot (4.6m) cords.

The optional FAN filter is located behind the intake air openings at the front and rear doors of the Foundation. It should be checked periodically and cleaned. Remove the nuts securing the filter clips. Take out the filter and wash it in soapy water. Then rinse, dry and replace it. Replace the filter clips and secure to the Foundation.

7.2 Uninterruptible Power Supply The Foundation may be supplied with any of several Liebert UPS units or with no UPS. For integrated/matched models, the UPS and ECM are sized with matched capacities. A larger UPS, with more battery time, can be obtained, but the connected electronics load should not exceed the ECM equipment load rating. Exceeding the ECM rating could cause high temperatures that might damage the equipment housed in the Foundation.

For Foundation models supplied with a UPS, refer to the separate UPS manual for UPS operation and specifications.

Operation


7.3 SiteNet IntegratorThe Liebert SiteNet Integrator is a separate rack-mount unit that communicates the status of the UPS and the Foundation via Ethernet SNMP. The option consists of a SiteNet Integrator module that typically is mounted in the top of the Foundation cabinet.

The SiteNet Integrator is powered by one or two externally mounted power supplies. One is standard; the second provides optional input power redundancy for the SNI. These power supplies provide the 9 VDC required to power the Integrator module. One supply will be plugged into the UPS or the UPS outlet strip in the rear of the cabinet.

The power supply output cable is plugged into the SiteNet Integrator power supply main input receptacle/socket. The second supply (if present) must be on a different circuit. The second supply’s output cable is plugged into the SiteNet Integrator power supply auxiliary input receptacle/socket.

An optional UPS/SNI interface cable is available that allows transmission of information between the Liebert UPS and the SiteNet Integrator. This cable will plug into the DB-9 connector on the rear of the UPS. The opposite end of the cable is plugged into the connector on the rear of the SiteNet Integrator marked UPS RS-232 DB-9P. Additionally, the SiteNet Integrator is capable of monitoring two Liebert temperature/humidity sensors, a single temperature-only sensor, up to 10 digital/dry contact inputs and includes two user-programmable relays.

When the high temperature alarm module is present, contacts are provided to annunciate a high temperature alarm condition inside the cabinet. Customer connection is via 0.25" quick-connect terminals on the high temperature alarm module in the upper right rear of the cabinet. The contacts are rated for 2 amps, 30 volts (Class 2 wiring).

7.3.1 SNI Sensor OptionsAll the options above are available factory-installed with the order or for field installation. Field-installed options are shipped as kits containing the sensors with mounting hardware, cable and cable restraint fixtures. Field installation requires hand tools for terminating the control cables and routing the cables.

Door Ajar—This option consists of two normally open switches that are mounted on the cabinet's front and rear frame supports. The switches will indicate the position of the doors as opened or closed. This is determined by the status of the dry-contact inputs connected to the SiteNet Integrator.

Temperature and Humidity Sensors (Internal and External)—The sensors allow monitoring of temperature and humidity status by the SiteNet Integrator. The internal option is for installation inside the Foundation cabinet and is supplied with a 38-inch (965mm) cord for connection between the temperature/humidity sensor and the SiteNet Integrator. The external option is supplied with a 30-foot (9.1m) cord for monitoring of temperature/humidity status outside the Foundation cabinet. The sensor and connection requirements for both options are identical.

Water Detect—The water detect option includes a Liebert Liqui-tect (LT-410) dry contact sensor. The sensor is powered by a 24VAC source connected through the high temperature alarm module. The transformer for this source is inside the ECM or BCM (an optional 120V transformer is available when no ECM is present).

The water detector is connected to a dry-contact input on the rear of the SiteNet Integrator by a 9-foot (2.7m) cable. The detector typically is located outside the Foundation cabinet for external water detection.

Operation


Smoke Detector Option—A four-wire smoke detector with normally open contacts, heat sensor and sounder alarm is mounted in the top of the Foundation cabinet. If smoke is detected, the normally open contacts of the smoke detector will close to provide alarm status to the Integrator. The smoke detector sounder alarm will also activate. This alarm is silenced by removing input power to the smoke detector. The smoke detector option requires a 9VDC power source and is normally powered by the High Temperature Alarm Module.

High Temperature Alarm Option - The high temperature alarm is a factory installed sensor / controller module to annunciate high temperatures in the Foundation. When temperatures in the Foundation reach 100°F (38°C), an audible alarm and the BCM (if present) are activated. The high temperature alarm module also includes a dry contact for optional remote monitoring of a high temperature condition. The high temperature alarm is powered by the ECM, if the ECM is not included with the Foundation system, a power supply option is required. The high temperature alarm module also provides input power to the smoke detector option.

9.5.2 Attach the Access Server or Power Strip to Rack Rails—Horizontal-Mount

Determine where the Liebert MP Advanced Access Server or Power Strip would be best placed in the rack for routing power and communication wires.

The rack-mount power strips and access servers (see Table 15-6) mount horizontally in standard rack face position on the rails using the square, EIA-spaced holes. They use four captive nuts snapped into the rail holes and four screws to attach the power strip or access server brackets to the rail.

As with all Liebert rack-mount equipment, obtain the appropriate size of rack-mounting hardware kit for captive nuts and screws.

Figure 9-7 Rack-mounting the power strip or access server

Screws go through bracket holes, through rail and insert into the captive screws

NOTE: Some brackets have only two mounting holes

b. a single outlet by clicking on the corresponding button in the Outlet Command section of the Individual Outlets box

The Web interface permits these commands for one or all outlets: On, Off, Reboot, Lock and Unlock. The reboot command cycles power to one or more outlets, turning it off for 10 seconds, then returning power to the outlet. The lock command locks one or more receptacles in their present state of On or Off.

Whenever a command button is pressed, the Web interface displays a confirmation box, such as the one shown at right. An OK is required before the command is executed.

12.3 Changing MP Advanced Power Strip ParametersVarious default values are set at the factory for MP Advanced Power Strips. Many of these may be changed to integrate the units into the user’s power supply and monitoring system.

Most changes are made through terminal emulation software, such as Windows HyperTerminal, used to set up the server and power strip (see 10.2.7 - Establish Communication With Card).

Use the settings below when using HyperTerminal™ to access the MP Advanced Power Strip:

Baud Rate: 9600

Data Bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Flow Control: N/A

12.3.1 Opening HyperTerminalOne way to open HyperTerminal in Windows XP is to click on Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.

1. Press Enter for the Main Menu, then press the “C” key to enter the configuration.

2. Select the module number where the EIA-232/Ethernet port is installed.

3. By default, the EIA-232/Ethernet port will be installed in Module 1.

4. Enter “C” for configuration settings.

5. Determine which module is to be configured and enter the number for that module.

NOTEOnly MP Advanced Power Strips with part numbers that begin MP-C offer control and monitoring options. MP Advanced Power Strips part numbers that begin with MP-M offer only monitoring. Some parameters for those units may also be changed from factory settings.



6. (In Figure 12-4, only one Ethernet module is connected; it is accessed by entering “1.” If another module were connected, it would be designated “2” and so on for all installed modules.)

7. Enter “10” for RPC Management.

This brings up the window shown in Figure 12-4, which offers configuration for:

• Temperature Alarm Threshold

• Under Voltage Alarm Threshold

• Over Voltage Alarm Threshold

• Low Current Alarm Threshold

• Environmental Sensors

• Outlet Groups

Figure 12-4 MP Advanced Power Strip control options

12.3.2 Customizing MP Advanced Power Strip Alarm Thresholds

Liebert’s MP Advanced Access Server and MP Advanced Power Strips permit the user to alter settings that trigger alarms and alerts.

The same procedure is used to change settings for Temperature Alarm Threshold, Under Voltage Alarm Threshold, Over Voltage Alarm Threshold, Low Current Alarm Threshold, Environmental Sensors and Outlet Groups.

NOTEExercise care when changing the default thresholds in the Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip.

If you are uncertain whether a desired threshold might permit equipment damage, contact Liebert Application Engineering for assistance.

Entering “1” as shown below will open options for the first option on the list:

Temperature Alarm Threshold



12.3.2.1 Accessing RPC Management1. Open HyperTerminal.

2. Press Enter for the Main Menu, then press the “C” key to enter the configuration.

3. Enter “C” for configuration settings and press Enter.

4. Determine which module is to be configured and enter the number for that module; press Enter.(In Figure 12-4, only one Ethernet module is connected; it is accessed by entering “1.” If another module were connected, it would be designated “2” and so on for all modules installed in the MP Advanced Access Server.)

5. Enter “10” for RPC Management and press Enter.

6. To change a setting, enter the appropriate numeral and press Enter.

• Temperature Alarm Threshold, enter “1” (proceed to

• Under Voltage Alarm Threshold, enter “2”

• Over Voltage Alarm Threshold, enter “3”

• Low Current Alarm Threshold, enter “4”

• Environmental Sensors, enter “5”

• Outlet Groups, enter “6”

12.3.2.2 Changing Alarm ThresholdsAfter selecting the threshold to be changed, a window similar to the one shown in Figure 12-5 is displayed. The example in Figure 12-5 is for changing the temperature alarm threshold.

1. Select the power strip on which you wish to change a setting. In the example in Figure 12-5, only one Liebert MP Advanced Power Strip is connected. That strip, designated “1,” is connected to the MP Advanced Access Server’s Module 2, Port 1.

2. This brings up the window in Figure 12-5.

12.3.3 Recommended Alarm Thresholds for Under Voltage, Over Voltage and Low Current

A current rating alarm threshold should be set at or below the maximum continuous current rating of the MP Advanced Power Strip. Some sample settings are:

• 15A rated power strips — 12A



Voltage alarm thresholds should be ±10% of the MP Advanced Power Strip’s rated voltage.

12.3.4 Receiving AlarmsTo receive alarms from the Liebert MP Advanced Access Server and MP Advanced Power Strip:

• SNMP must be enabled (it is enabled by default)

• The user must be running network management software, such as Liebert’s Nform®, that will receive SNMP traps.

12.3.5 Customizing MP Advanced Power Strip Settings—Outlet GroupsUp to four outlets on one or more MP Advanced Power Strips connected to a single MP Advanced Access Server may be grouped for common actions, such as turning all outlets On or Off. This allows the user to perform such tasks as rebooting several pieces of equipment at once or turning several pieces of electronic gear On or Off simultaneously.

Grouping OutletsTo group outlets, open terminal emulation software and access the MP Advanced Server’s network interface module, then follow the instructions through Configuration > RPC Management > Outlet Groups > Outlet Group Configuration. Then:

1. Enter “2” to add a group. This brings up the screen shown in Figure 12-6.

! CAUTIONCare must be taken when customizing alarm thresholds so that settings are not changed to values that permit equipment damage or performance degradation to occur before an alarm is sent.



Figure 12-6 Grouping outlets

2. When prompted, designate the outlets to be grouped—a maximum of four may be grouped.Designate the outlets as instructed by entering the module, port and outlet numbers. Separate each numeral with a period. Separate the three-digit outlet identifiers with commas.

3. Press the Enter key.

4. Name the group—a maximum length of 23 characters is permitted. This may include any combination of letters, numbers and symbols on the standard keyboard.In the example in Figure 12-7, three outlets are being named “Illumination.” A group of three outlets has already been named “WebServer01-03.”

Maintenance


13.1 Periodic Maintenance

13.1.1 Mini Computer RoomThe Foundation MCR requires very little maintenance. The ECM's condenser coil fins must be inspected periodically to determine the necessary cleaning interval based on conditions at the installation site. Depending on site conditions the coil fins may require cleaning as often as twice a month or as seldom as twice per year. The condenser is located at the bottom front of the ECM. If the fins become dirty and clogged, they should be gently vacuumed with a soft bristle brush or cleaned with compressed air.

13.1.2 Rack-Mount ECMTo access the condenser fins, open the front door of the Foundation MCR and remove the two retaining screws from the top of the front access plate. The plate will swing open freely once the screws are removed. After cleaning, swing the access plate back into position and replace the two screws.

13.1.3 Top-Mount ECMFor top-mount ECM units, remove power to the ECM by unplugging the power cord. Remove the sheet metal cover from the ECM by removing all screws on the front and sides of the unit. Screws on the rear of the ECM do not need to be removed. Clean the unit by gently vacuuming with a soft bristle brush or cleaning with compressed air. Reinstall the cover and all screws before restarting the ECM.

13.1.4 Cleaning the Optional FAN Air FilterThe optional FAN air filters, behind the intake air openings on the front and rear doors of the Foundation, should be inspected periodically to determine the necessary cleaning interval, based on conditions at your installation. If an air filter becomes dirty and clogged, it will require cleaning.

To do so:

• Remove the nuts securing the filter clips.

• Take out the filter and wash it in soapy water. Rinse, dry and replace it.

• Replace the filter clips and secure to the Foundation.
